SGP/SIRS/C1 - Reprocess: UIR/DIR Incorrect calibration coefficients

It appears the datalogger program at SIRS/C1 was automatically updated, unbeknownst to 
anyone, on 9/27/20041423GMT with an older program with incorrect UIR and DIR calibration 
coefficients. The correct and incorrect cal coeffs for the UIR and DIR pyrgeometers during 
this DQR period were:
  incorrectUIR   correctUIR

K1  .2250        0.2573

SGP/SIRS/C1 - Monthly Summary

dominant problem here is the daytime 3 component problem. Direct and Diffuse are
always too high and Global is too low. The problem occurs around the time that the
testing regime switches from twilight to daytime testing regimes or from daytime to
twilight. The flags occur in significant numbers on the 1st - 5th, 8th - 20th, 24th - 
28th,
30th, and 31st. The failures vary in magnitude and duration. The worst flags for a 
particular
day is typically high level yellow, with respect to this problem. Global goes below
daytime empirical limits on both the 5th and 6th for substantial periods of time. Diffuse
also goes below daytime empirical limits on the 6th in the evening. Upwelling Longwave is
below empirical limits on the 24th. This may not be a problem, as many sites exhibited
the same problem on the same night. Exceptionally cold temperatures may be the cause.
Direct also exceeds its daytime empirical limit on the 1st, 4th, 10th, 13th, 14th, and 
20th. This occurs
at the changeover from medium to high air mass and does not last for longer than 30 
minutes.

SGP/SIRS/C1  - sun tracker power failure

C1 experienced a sun tracker power faulure.  The tracker was reset by onsite personnel 
shortly after the power failed.  Only shaded and direct instruments were affected - i.e. the 
downwelling diffuse measurement from the 8-48 B&W pyranometer and the direct normal 
measurement from the NIP pyrheliometer.  The downwelling longwave PIR data was unaffected by 
this event.

SGP/SIRS/C1 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error

Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in December 2003. 
These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data. The previous 
procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to 
restore proper calibrations. 

The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place have been reprocessed to 
remove the calibration bias.  The reprocessed 60 second averaged data are based on 3 
instantaneous 20 second data records rather than on 60 1 second instantaneous data records. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in October 2006.
